14.34 – Day 4 – Telavi

I was tasting wines at Schuchmanns Winery in Telavi, a German owned Georgian vineyard that has been producing wines since 2008. They use 2 methods to produce wine - European and Georgian. The Georgian method involves fermenting wine in a clay pot in the ground. The result is a stronger, earthier wine that tastes and…

Snack

I didn't have lunch due to my humongous breakfast, so I indulged on some local nibbles whilst tasting wine.

14.34 – Day 3 – Sighnaghi

After a long and challenging journey from Azerbaijan to Georgia, I have rewarded myself with a wine tasting and it includes a shot of Chacha - 48% alcohol!

Fooood

14.34 – Day 2 – Baku

At 2.34pm I was at the Heydar Aliyev Cultural Centre. Incredible architecture and it is a stark contrast to the European / Islamic styles in the city centre. This was a few kilometres outside the city centre so had my first adventure on the metro to get here.

Lamb roll

The meal portions are usually huge so went for a lighter lamb roll at Kebab Express. 

14.34 – Day 1 – Baku

Mandarin Oriental

We have finally reached all new levels of sophistication and embarked on an a journey of discovery by sampling afternoon teas across Hong Kong. First stop, the Clipper Lounge at the Mandarin Oriental! The surroundings were lavish and the service was attentive. We were presented with a tier of sandwiches, 2 tiers of scones and…

28/04/16 – Hualien- 14.34

We had been merrily cycling along  the coastal bike path when suddenly torrential rain hit and we got absolutely soaked. We went searching for shelter and stumbled upon Taiwanese "Butlins". At 14.34 we were drying off and awaiting our lunch. Happy days!
